Three Red-necked Grebes remained off the pier at Avon this afternoon.
The scoter and gull flocks have largely dispersed, with open water now
abundant offshore. I walked the beach, and counted ~50 deceased
waterfowl washed up onshore. Red-breasted Mergansers were the major
casualty, along with Redhead (4), Canada Goose (3), Greater Scaup (2),
Lesser Scaup (2), Canvasback (1), and White-winged Scoter (1), and half a dozen Ring-billed Gulls. There are also still some ducks in the area
that are clearly not up to par healthwise – even the long-staying
Red-necked Grebes seem a bit lethargic.
